Method 1: Single Cable Connection (Full-function USB-C)

This method is applicable for laptops equipped with a full-function USB-C port that supports both video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) and power delivery.

  1. Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to your laptop's full-function USB-C port.
  2. Connect the other end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to either Port 1 or Port 2 on the Teamgee S8 monitor.
  3. The monitor should automatically detect the signal and power on.

Method 2: Dual Cable Connection (HDMI + USB)

This method is used when your laptop does not have a full-function USB-C port, or if you prefer to use separate video and power connections.

  1. Connect one end of the USB-C to HDMI cable to your laptop's HDMI port.
  2. Connect the USB-C end of the USB-C to HDMI cable to Port 3 on the Teamgee S8 monitor (for video signal).
  3. Connect one end of the USB-A to USB-C cable to your laptop's USB-A port (or a power adapter).
  4. Connect the USB-C end of the USB-A to USB-C cable to either Port 1 or Port 2 on the Teamgee S8 monitor (for power).
  5. The monitor should power on and display the video signal.

Note: Ensure your laptop's graphics settings are configured to detect and extend to the new display. This typically involves adjusting display settings in your operating system (e.g., Windows Display Settings, macOS System Preferences > Displays).

5. Operating Instructions

Display Modes

Once connected, you can configure how your laptop interacts with the portable monitor:

  • Extend Mode: This mode expands your desktop across both screens, allowing you to have different applications open on each display. This is ideal for multitasking and increased productivity.
  • Mirror Mode (Duplicate): This mode duplicates your laptop's screen onto the portable monitor, showing the same content on both displays. Useful for presentations or sharing content.

To switch between display modes, access your operating system's display settings:

  • Windows: Right-click on the desktop, select 'Display settings', then choose 'Extend these displays' or 'Duplicate these displays' from the 'Multiple displays' dropdown.
  • macOS: Go to 'System Settings' (or 'System Preferences') > 'Displays'. You can arrange displays or select 'Mirror displays'.

Adjusting Monitor Settings

The Teamgee S8 monitor includes on-screen display (OSD) controls, typically accessible via buttons on the monitor itself. These controls allow you to adjust settings such as:

  • Brightness and Contrast
  • Color Temperature
  • Input Source Selection
  • Aspect Ratio
  • Volume (if speakers are present)

Refer to the specific button layout on your monitor for navigation within the OSD menu.

6. Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your Teamgee S8 monitor:

  • Cleaning the Screen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a non-abrasive screen cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Casing: Wipe the aluminum casing with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the monitor in its protective sleeve to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
  • Handling: Avoid dropping the monitor or subjecting it to strong impacts. Do not place heavy objects on top of it.
  • Temperature: Operate and store the monitor within recommended temperature ranges to prevent damage.
